Describe your issue in detail here.
I don’t know what else to do. I’ve looked at countless other answers and tried inputting the coding different ways and still can’t seem to get it right.

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
encrypted_text = ''

for char in text.lower():
    index = alphabet.find(char)    
    new_index = index + shift
    encrypted_text = alphabet[new_index]
    print('char:', char, 'encrypted text:', encrypted_text)

Hi @3sPlease,
Welcome to fCC community.
Kindly clarify. Which part of this task do you need help with?

If you feel you’re doing the right thing but the check keeps flagging. Try doing a reset and try again.

:+1: Happy coding.

Hi there and welcome to our community!

If you reset the lesson, the starting code should be:

for char in text.lower():
    index = alphabet.find(char)
    print(char, index)
    new_index = index + shift

Then you should:

create a new_char variable at the end of your loop body. Set its value to alphabet[new_index] .

So, directly below your new_index variable, define your new variable with the value exactly as specified in the instructions.
